Any time Microsoft and Google decide to partner on something, you know the rest of us are just going to get screwed.
Right now, with many of us having only one choice for the local loop (or is it only called the last mile these days? I'm showing my age), we're already screwed. This initiative is the very competition you seek.
Yes, but for the web of trust to have value to the casual observer certain respected authorities need to be established which is something people tend to do naturally on their own.
Indeed. I'd like to think that if I looked at the web of trust through, e.g., the IEEE website, I'd get something approximating the combined trust of their membership. Rent-an-opinion, if you will!
The root should be established by your opinion on papers, their authors, and their reviewers. If you see eye to eye with an author or reviewer about a paper, you should increase your trust of them. In other words, everyone has a separate view onto the web of trust.
Nice try at another soundbite, but you've already been called on that. Luckily, most admins have considerably better understanding than you do of the difference between short-term and long-term goals.
The last damn thing I want is to click a link out of curiosity and within five minutes be standing there having to listen to the IT guy say "here's your sign" or end up in the HR office explaining my seeming poor hand-eye coordination because I accidentally clicked on a link in an email from the fscking HR department. Don't these people have enough work to do?
Your "curiosity" is another guy's security problem. If your HR department is sending out spam, you've got another, different, problem.
No, because your metaphor doesn't take account of the fact that the proposed solution causes a lot of spam to be sent.
It's more like that the condom police just have sex with you bareback, and afterwards they say "okay well this time it was just genital warts... next time it might be AIDS".
i have no intention of letting my laptop out of my sight on a buzy bus/tube/station
It's a matter of basic consideration for your fellow passengers to take your backpack off when you're on a busy bus/tube, so you'll be doing that anyway. If you're concerned about security, get one that opens on the inside of the shoulder straps, so it can't be opened when it's on your back.
i even know a guy that had his laptop (with a full set confidential documents) ripped of his back by closing tube doors.
I see shoulder bags get caught in tube doors considerably more often than backpacks, because they tend to have more freedom to swing out.
You keep all your valuables in your bag? No wonder you're concerned about it being "more reachable by others". Have you considered having a shoulder bag for your valuables, and a separate one for your laptop? I'm sure your company would supply you with a backpack if you explained that you need it to stop your back hurting. And I don't really understand why distributing the whole load over only one shoulder will do less damage to your suit jacket (it doesn't mine).

I suppose that the alternative explanation, Mac/iPhone users are full of shit and grossly overrate those products, has not occurred to you.
That'll be what it is! Getting a Mac or an iPhone turns you into a pathological liar. Why didn't I think of that?
device that is intended to be as similar as possible to a platform I'm not thrilled with
Wow. Just, wow. I cannot begin to describe how wrong you are about this. Are you sure you had your eyes open when you were comparing them?
MIT researchers have combined a mobile projector with a webcam and mobile phone to create a device that draws visual information from the environment.
Fixed that for ya.

True. I should have pointed out that volunteers exist in more than just concept.
Dude, are you *still* arguing about this?
Let me clue you in: when someone disagrees with you, they might be doing so for humorous purposes.
People need money to survive, which means they need a *paying* job not a zero-paying job.
If that is true, how do you know what the concept of "volunteer" means?
So if they had not been slaves, but free individuals like us, it would have been okay for the plantation owners to not pay them?
Well, yes, because people that aren't slaves yet work for free are called "volunteers".
Sorry, it was the closest I could find to your request.
"In some embodiments, the functions may include..."
NB that use of the word "may include" implies a non-exhaustive list. So what other functions might exist?
What's that you say? Programming a flying car?
OMG PONIES APPLE ARE PLANNING TO MAKE A FLYING CAR QUICK BLOG ABOUT IT AND CALL SLASHDOT!!!!!!
Um, what does your HR department's propensity to send out Powerpoint presentations have to do with the discussion at hand?
Ah, so is it just men that aren't comfortable with their sexuality wearing shoulder bags? ;)
Did you even read the rest of the sentence you quoted?
Good thing you don't do security at airports, otherwise anyone who puts their bag inside another bag would get waved straight through...
And while we're at it, I don't have to obey the law of the land because I never signed up to it; I was simply born into it.
PLEASE STOP SPAMMING THIS DISCUSSION WITH YOUR RIDICULOUSLY SIMPLISTIC THINKING.

Get a rucksack. I really can't fathom why people still insist on using shoulder bags for laptops.
Only if the girl's birth control pill fails to work, and in that case the after-oops pill will work just as fine.
That attitude really must have women beating down your door.
From the inside.
Um, what does any of what you just posted have to do with J2ME?
